My Favourite LANDSCAPE Photographs | 2019

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Number two wins it for me. Simple, with excellent colour scheme. Thanks for sharing your work Adam.

[@romandorda1802]

I live in Germany and my english is very bad. In spite of that, I would like to write some words because I admire your pictures. Also the editing in PS, not too much and not too little. The pictures are soft and atmospheric. I also like the way you build your videos and how you comment on your work. I'm waiting for new videos and I wish you a Merry Christmas.

[@ianrobinson1966]

Roman Dorda your English is great.

[@evertking1]

Yeah, better then Americans

[@ClareCC0902]

Great English!

[@steveupson7183]

Roman Dorda I live in Vienna, and your English is better than my German.

[@Ron_Boy]

I'm always touched by how well non-English speakers express themselves.

[@derekolsen999]

# 8 I flashed to A Adams, but those trees in the Gobi, omg, and who couldn't love Fairy Lake

[@joesanders6898]

Thank you for posting this video. I'm surprised it took me until now to find it. It is most inspirational, and I've gathered a lot of ideas from it. I'm new to DSLR photography and on a retired and limited budget. After watching this one I've realized I have several local areas that hold a lot of promise. Especially considering that Fall starts in a few days. Thanks again.

[@jean-guyhuot7869]

Picking up on your closure comment it was simply a pure pleasure to "stick with you". What great photos😊👍

[@Alister_Benn]

Beautiful man, so good to share some of those moments with you in Huangshan and Gobi. Until our next adventure together. 🍻🥢

[@nataliotomillo277]

Hi Adams. I'm following you from Barcelona (Catalonia). I discovered your channel some months ago and I'm learning a lot with your work. You inspire me and push me to go out looking for a good landscape photo. This is the best way to improve and for that I'm very grateful. Congratulations for this 2019 !!!

[@peterpigula9462]

Almost fell off my chair when I saw No 10, stunning.

[@lueyd6267]

Sir, I was not disappointed.... You again took me all over the world to places I'll never see. My favorite one was the Ghost tree. She was such a beauty. Thank you for all of your hard work to bring us your visions😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️

[@Macman608]

Beautiful,Beautiful images. Your work is truly amazing and your artistic talent is second to none.

[@nickbristol3457]

This was so enjoyable to watch. Wonderful photography and listening to you talk about each image makes it quite special to me. Thanks!

[@glendarowland51]

There is such a sensitivity to your work Adam. It’s obvious why you were awarded landscape photographer of the year. Your narration and drone footage is top class too. Have a great Christmas and NY, and look forward to seeing more of your inspirational work next year.

[@trypersistence]

An extremely well done video, Adam. Fantastic images, as well as drone footage. I respect your work!

[@erichstocker4173]

I love the fact that you show the unprocessed raw and then the processed photo. I'm always surprised at how little processing you do to get your final prints. But I am also surprised that I almost 100% that I agree with your adjustments. That extra touch is another great learning experience.

[@thinkinoutloud.1]

I keep leaning towards the Van Couver photos. Still all your photos are amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing your great work.

[@cstevenett2779]

Well done Adam! Very difficult to pick a fave as each image is spectacular by its own merit! My eye leans towards the 2 images from the Gobi Desert....especially the tree image. I know the soft sand tones work well but I can envision that comp working well as a monochrome also! Looking forward to another stunning year of image making!! Merry Christmas too! CS

[@LiamGalashan]

I absolutely love the last image overall. The subliminal message in the image of growth against all odds is fantastic! Very inspiring video and I do really enjoy the cinematic drone footage in the intro that gives me chills and excitement.

[@AlergicToSnow]

Fabulous body of work, Adam. All wall worthy. “Best” is a personal assessment but I surely agree with your choices. I’m quite certain the video compression doesn’t do them justice and I can imagine seeing a print properly mounted and displayed would be even more compelling. Your images underline a few things I really need to put much more into practice. Simplicity, negative space, patterns and shapes, to name a few. I really love color but B&W was how I started and, indeed, why I got into photography in the first place. Somehow I lost that over the years. I’m now kicking myself over how many great images I’ve missed because I just wasn’t thinking about monochrome. Oh, by the way, your b roll and video production is just awesome, and I really enjoy your calm delivery and introspective content. It is so refreshing in comparison to so many others who seem to think frantic is the only way to keep peoples attention.

[@CatchavistaAerial]

Love all your work, but your gnarly ancient looking trees are always a fave! Here`s to 2020!

[@terrydekker3233]

Absolutely stunning work. Magnificent shots one and all !!

[@GjPeddy]

Not only are you an astounding photographer, but you have a fantastic sense for cinematography as well (and I'm not just basing this on the drone shots, it's something I've notice throughout all your videos). Wouldn't mind seeing a long film of yours, should it be something that tickles your interest. (This comment is meant to be an encouragement in case it was something you had thought of, not a subscriber's request or anything of the sort). You are an incredible photographer and I think your love of nature is the main reason for that, thank you for transmitting that through your videos.

[@jurajbenadik4049]

Beautiful shots and very enjoyable video, Uncle Grumpy. Always worth revisiting. Cheers!

[@jimbean532]

Wow wow wow! What a great collection of images. My fav was the cottonwoods in the Gobi...but then again... 🤔. Thank you for the inspiration, and the beautiful drone footage at the beginning.

[@tomass7952]

Superb images Adam ! Absolutely stunning!

[@richardgrudzien2798]

I knew I was in for a treat when I saw the title of this video, but it is much more than that! Wow, Adam. I recall seeing some of these images in earlier videos (like the Gobi desert one with the trees against the dune background), but they are all just superb. My favourite is 10 (the birch/Aspen (?) which is absolutely exquisite. And the Tonquin Valley image is a close second! Amazing stuff. I am looking forward to your next images in 2020. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

[@andrewherbert9938]

Thanks Adam for this years videos and so many stunning images , I’m with you on the best of the best , that ghostly tree is just fantastic

[@johnsholian4318]

I totally agree with your favorite. I remember when that video rolled out and the ice bubbles were the focus of the other guys but you were off doing your thing and came away with that amazing image. You have a gift for seeing the unseen as it were and I’m still blown away by it today. Well done on all of the images and corresponding videos Adam! Cheers.

[@KurtBaumanMobilePhotography]

Thank you for all your hard work making these videos. I've really enjoyed watching them over this past year.

[@ralfkrahe2493]

Wonderful assembly of your favorites, Adam. I recognized several that struck me in your videos throughout the year, including the mushrooms at Wiener Park. Looking forward to your 2020 exploits. Happy holidays and New Year from Texas.

[@ETERNALFLIGHT63]

Adam I really like the effort you put into beginning of your vids with drone work, and video shots. 12 thumbs up for 12 beautiful year end pictures.

[@matthewhernandez4715]

That aspen tree picture was absolutely the greatest and cleanest image I have ever seen

[@jimwallar8920]

Thanks for sharing your favorites outside of an office. The video, as always, was wonderful and really added to the story of each photo.

[@timetodestination9538]

Absolutely stunning photo. Best landscape photographer on KZbin 2019. BTW I seriously think Adam can go deeper with video. Maybe try some short film style video next year? The drone footage is seriously too good to ignore.

[@rayblg]

Wonderful Video Adam, I always get that peaceful easy feeling while enjoying each one. Looking forward to seeing you at the Outsiders Photography conference in March.

[@SubiTrekker]

As a friend of mine is fond of saying: "It's a good day - I woke up this morning." But, it's a great day when an Adam Gibbs video comes online!

[@andychattaway5620]

Hey Adam, "If you made it this far." Man I was transfixed by this stunning collection of photographs. Awesome video. 👌

[@ellyelzinga01]

So many great pictures!! Really love the last one too!

[@SteveP_2426]

Catching up on my backlog of your videos Adam. great pics. I'm heading up to Skye in May and following the video you and Gavin did on Fingals Cave I'm seriously thinking about taking the boat trip so who knows, might see you there!

[@valpayne2963]

I just want to say that your book ‘Quiet Light’ arrived yesterday and I’m blown away by the quality of the book and the very generous number of stunning images. Incredible value and so pleased I bought it. Thanks!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Excellent! Thanks, Val!

[@adamkrauss303]

From one Adam to another, thank you for providing us with another year of stunning and inspirational images, along with top notch video editing and story telling. That said, I was truly saddened to see this video end and would have loved a part 2. As others mentioned, I love that you include a clip of the raw images and I love how you mixed the video in this best of to set the scene. Cheers!

[@hristorbital]

Congrats on the fruitful year, Adam ! Keep on the with the good stuff and greetings from Bulgaria :)

[@jimrookphotos]

Adam, Thanks for taking us on a tour of the fantastic sites and photos that you've visited and made over the past year. As you well know, inspiration is key to getting out and making a capture we can be pleased with. Thus I sincerely thank you for all the teaching and inspiration that you have provided. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Jim

[@RobertTeague]

I always enjoy your videos Adam, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

[@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography]

Excellent video & images for 2019! Congratulations on a great year in photography & travel Adam! Happy New Year!

[@chrisstark8136]

Absolutely stunning images

[@williamstatt8651]

I would cherish seeing a vieo of you editing your favorite images of 2019. !:)

[@philpetrie]

Absolutely wonderful work Adam

[@jimbembinster]

You have had a great year Adam, you work very hard to capture these images. I have enjoyed all the photographs and videos. Best of luck in 2020.

[@josephcole3187]

great stuff Adam!!! looking forward to 2020 adventures

[@fotofletch]

What a great way to end your photographic year. You got some amazing shots in 2019. Heres to 2020 have a great new year Adam and thanks for all the great content you continue to produce even if you do have the Hardcastle bloke in tow 🤗😅

[@boatman222345]

Lovely Images All! As to overcrowding in Canada's National Parks I feel your pain. I've lived just outside of Acadia National Park here in Maine for 43 years and it gets worse and worse and worse every year. In fact this year I didn't even attempt any photography in the park during the May-Nov period the park was so overrun with people. Fifty years ago when I first got involved in the environmental movement there were some who worried that as more and more people were drawn into the National Parks they would end up "loving them to death." I am afraid their prediction has come true. What to do about it is the question today. In 1973 I was driving from Vancouver to Montreal on the TransCanada Highway. At one point during the trip I listened to a radio broadcast discussing increasing overcrowding in Canada's National Park system (if they thought there was overcrowding then they should see it now!). One of the guests being interviewed made a statement which rang true then and rings even truer today: "Many of the people flocking to our National Parks are really just fleeing from overcrowded cities. They aren't really interested in or capable of appreciating the natural beauty within the parks, they just want to get away. I think that one possible way we could lessen overcrowding would be to build large parking lots outside the major cities where people could park their RVs or camping trailers, have a beer, and chit chat with their neighbors. Sounded like a good idea then, and 43 years of living by Acadia Nation Park has only made it sound better!

[@keithtruman7422]

What a wonderful set of images Adam. You must be so pleased. My out and out fave image was No 10-the tree at Abraham Lake, closely followed by the trees in the Gobi, No. 3. A very enjoyable 26 minutes watching Adam. Thanks

[@pattymattes7124]

Wow!!! You have some amazing images. I thank you for showing us the raw files. For number five I like the blue tone too! Thank you for sharing these images with us. You've taken me places that I probably will never be able to get to. You, and the other landscape photographers I follow have really inspired me to just get outside and look for that light and beauty. It truly is relaxing just to be outside. I'm looking forward to your next video. Merry Christmas to you!!!

[@relaxation_ambience]

I waited, waited and again waited... For the moment it came to my mind "it can not be that Adam did not take that photo as one of his favorites". And then number 10 appeared :)

[@jaywilliamsphoto]

I'm glad some of your China images made it into your favourites. Your China series was really what cemented for me that you're the 'real deal'. As you said, you initially weren't that interested in going to China, I similarly wasn't too interested in watching the videos at the time of release because I thought it wasn't my cup of tea. However, the series is now among my favourite videos of yours. The images are great and I felt that the 'feel' of the area was expressed quite well in the videos as well. Downside though, pressure is on for 2020 lol, your audience wants more, bigger and better, drone'i'er?. We're a selfish bunch haha. All the best, happy holidays.

[@keddy6live]

Nothing but admiration for your vision good sir.

[@puck528co]

What an amazing Collection! Greatings from another german lover of your photography!

[@PeteMiller]

Excellent series of images Adam! Well done. This has been a very lackluster year for me; I will likely not have 10 or 12 images that I can consider 'best of' ...but I will still cull through my 2019 catalog and see what comes about. ;)

[@gordroberts53]

What a year 2019 has been for you! And all of us by extension. Thanks so much for sharing so generously. Finally the weather is right for my quiet light toque! Cheers

[@RichPang78]

Adam, firstly, let me say your drone work is exceptional. I genuinely love it and could happily watch for hours! Secondly, every image on your list is absolutely beautiful and would have to agree with your personal choice of #10 being your favourite...what an incredible image. That’s the print I choose to go with when purchasing your new book 😍. Can’t wait wait to see what you bring us in 2020! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

[@billbaker4970]

Greats shots love your work Adam.

[@jnbsigma]

Fantastic images, as always! Watching your videos really makes me miss living in BC, though I was in the lower mainland and unfortunately never made it over to the island. Looking forward to doing that soon---especially Carmanah! Thanks, Adam!

[@CarolyneMacMillan]

What a great year you've had. I hope next year is even better! :)

[@DavidSwarthout]

What to say other than that they're all just as wonderful the second time around. I've watched your videos showing the making of these gorgeous photos during 2019 and I'll probably watch them again in a few years. Keep up the great work. Happy Holidays to you and Karen.

[@davehayford4294]

Excellent Adam......EXCELLENT and thanks for sharing.

[@stevechilvers1322]

Adam, a truly GREAT set of photograph's. Another good year for Adam Gibbs, the pictures & video's are ALL stunning. Keep up the good work & I, like many who follow you, look forward to 2020. Merry Christmas.

[@garyholman8634]

2019 has been a great year for you Adam!. Images to be proud of there! I was trying to pick a favourite, but that's hard! The desert dunes is a cracking shot. The little tree at the end also! but they are all superb! Well done mate!

[@DonnaHughes]

Thank you. I’ve learned so much and been inspired. Thank you for including the RAW files. I’d like to see more processing videos in the future.

[@PaulFaracePhotography]

Wonderful photos, Adam.

[@zmerc1969]

Beautiful shots as usual

[@jimgraves4197]

Beautiful images that inspire. Thank you for sharing them with us Adam.

[@johnmcsporran3090]

Superb selection. Your book should be arriving this week, really looking forward to it. Regards.

[@stephenrowson4828]

What a fantastic year you've had - amazing images! It's been been really interesting and inspirational to watch you go through your process with each of these images. The ethereal tree image is also my favourite image of the series - closely followed by the Fairy lake image. All the best for 2020, have a great Christmas. I hope Gavin has got you a cool Christmas present - you guys are so entertaining when you're together! LOL

[@nldazuu]

Congratulations on a very nice series of amazing images and adventures you've shared.... I've missed some Greenland shot....keep up the inspirational shots!

[@brucemacneil]

Lovely video and a wonderful portfolio of pictures.

[@RichardRostant1]

Didn’t want it to end!

[@klausschleicher523]

I really enjoyed the video and I have to say that your selection is so great. It makes me feel to get out and do some photographs by myself, but I have to stay in my bed because I got a cold ;-( I think you videos always have some relaxing mood for me as viewer. The image of the trees in the Gobi Dessert is outstanding! Thanks a lot and I wish you Merry Christmas!

[@stevebanks484]

Beautiful images Adam 👏👏

[@Paul9]

Thanks Adam, thoroughly enjoyed this, stunning images.

[@overlandphotography]

Beautiful images.... thanks for sharing

[@billkipper3264]

There's an old mine shaft near where I live that has some beautiful ice stalagmites just inside the entrance during winter. Years ago I got a few shots of them. Unfortunately, there is now a grate over the entrance which totally ruins any chance of getting any decent photos. Also, your shot of the mushrooms I think is my favorite, however, in the few months I've watched your channel I would say you don't take any bad photos. By far my favorite photographer on KZbin.

[@milanadhikariphoto]

20:29 is one of my favourite from you, Uncle G!

[@maul_2184]

Love them one day I hope to be able to visit Vancover Island myself to take some pictures.

[@stevemakin7007]

ghost tree is exceptional, by far my favourite :-)

[@howardallen5390]

Thanks Adam, I did enjoy seeing those images. My only disappointment was that I was looking forward to two videos. Happy Christmas.

[@russconway2866]

Great inspirational video, makes me want to get out much more

[@MichaelP247]

Hello Hello Adam and again I am in total agreement of your favorites though I do see others from this year as very good contenders as well, for the prestige of being included into a selection of just twelve images. Going through the process myself of selecting a small number from my library is very very difficult for me I can only imagine how it must be for you. Excellent choices in your final presentation to us and thank-you for all the hard work of sharing the images, video, and narrative. This shows your true passion through devoting such time and energy to helping the community grow and learn from your vision, for this I thank-you. I look forward to the day our paths will cross and the opportunity to meet and share visions. From your fellow adventures living in the Cascade Mountains a little south of you we wish you and Karin a joyful and meaningful 2020.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Michael!

[@Nonaxisymmetric]

Great work, a really stunning set of images there.

[@fototripper]

You're damn right I jumped on straight away. Can't be outdone. 10 is still my fave though. That ghost tree was a good find.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Gavin the mushroom seeker. Was a beautiful find.

[@jrcandela77]

What an amazing collection of photos from 2019!!! Your unique style really blows my mind... thanks for sharing with all of us the way you see the nature. looking forward to seeing many more great pictures in 2020"!!! MERRY XMAS ADAM!!!

[@emiliogarijo4076]

awesome video and more sstunning photographs … you are very big.

[@Appu8689]

Beautiful photographs. 😍😍

[@PhotogAbby]

Beautiful video, Adam! Great year!

[@russelledwards1259]

Some of the best images iv seen look foto reading your book.

[@gatgeneralairsofttactics9598]

I really love your work Adam! At 19:05 these are stalagmites, not stalactites. Stalag|M|ites -> mount / Stalac|T|ites -> tumble. Greatings from Austria! :)

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks! I think that's what I said, could be wrong.

[@TL-xw6fh]

Truly breathtaking images, as always! BTW, I've received my Quiet Light book! Still enjoying going through those great images! I await the next book with bated breadth.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Excellent, thank you!

[@paulus0109]

Jesus Adam, what quality of your photo's! They are so inspiring to me, though i don't think i will ever reach your level. But i'm still trying anyway... Il learned a lot from your vlogs, and enjoyed your drone footage. Also please keep on making video's with Gavin. He will never reach your level as well (hahaha), but i love your video's together. Thnks for a great year and keep up the very good work. Paul

[@jacktaylor6190]

STUNNING! Your China images are my favorite!

[@noelbodle8863]

Wonderful set of images Adam, showing the other KZbin whippersnappers how it’s done

[@pedrodasilveira]

Awesome work! Thanks
